better view

i never thought

to consult the

wire birds on feather fences

the roof weather vane ornaments

yet it is they

who view

the entire clothesline

i think of my old vintage turntable

with cracked plastic lid

and wonder who’s playing it now

    If mypenandme is quite crazy
    He thought he knew
    But now the view
    From the clothesline is all kinda hazy

    Superb!
